My Style & Travel: The Famous Love Wall

One of my favorite cities to visit is Los Angeles, California. First, the City of Angels is an easy drive from Arizona. Second, a large part of my family lives there and it's fun to visit with everyone. And, third, there is so much to see and do! I have been to California dozens of times, and I still have so many places I want to visit (and yes, take photos at. #blogger). Traveling tip: to see as much as possible, plan your specific goals of what you want to see before you leave.

For this trip, I created a list of murals, beaches, and streets that I wanted to visit. At the top of my list of things to see was the famous #LoveWall by JGoldcrown, a.k.a. the #BleedingHearts artist. If you're interested in finding the wall like I did, I googled the location and discovered it's on the wall outside of Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop. I put the address, 1239 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291, into my GPS and the directions worked perfectly. As for the parking, that was a different story. The parking on Abbot Kinney is a bit difficult to come by, only parallel (no thank you), and had strange hours on Tuesdays that they will ticket you because of street cleaning. However, there is a metered parking lot (bring coins) right across the street from the mural; you can't see it from Abbot Kinney, because it's behind the shops that line the street. So turn on Santa Clara Avenue off of Abbot Kiney and the parking lot will be on your right.

For this look, I wore a rainbow striped sweater and wool hat from Zaful that I thought went perfectly with the colorful mural. It was love at first sight with this sweater; I've always loved color. It's a one size fits all, and it fits just how I hoped it would, cozy and oversized. As a sweet treat for Valentine's Day 2018, Zaful has great Valentine's day deals and sales going on. If you wanna treat yourself, or a loved one, definitely check it out! I styled the sweater with my favorite mom jean shorts, color lens glasses, and white Converse from Urban Outfitters. The outfit was stylish and comfy for a day filled of exploring LA. What is your favorite state to visit and why? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below. Xoxo, Shelly
